New Oklahoma coach Brent Venables made his first appearance at Big 12 media days on Thursday, but he couldn't resist drawing parallels to the first time he arrived in Norman as an assistant to Bob Stoops in 1999.
The Sooners were able to jump-start their success by taking left-handed quarterback Josh Heupel as a transfer from Snow College in Utah.
While the circumstances are different this time around with Caleb Williams and Spencer Rattler both transferring from the OU program, Venables said he's very comfortable with UCF transfer Dillon Gabriel at the helm.
